Is it normal i'm becoming paranoid

I have noticed some changes that occurred in recent months.
First of all, an old childhood fear of the dark has returned. I keep imagining a stranger lurking in the shadows in my own home.
Even without the dark, when I am home alone, I keep having thoughts of a murderer silently approaching my room.
Also, I have been increasingly fearful of a loved one dying. Even if they're just going out for a drive, I fear the worst as they step out the door.
I'm aware I'm being irrational and constantly reassure myself whenever such thoughts pop up. I'm only 17, so I'll probably get even worse when I'm older

    You need to realize that these irrational fears you are having could be the result of trauma.. It helps to realize that you being born just happens. Row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily "life" is but a "dream". Life is a manifestation of us and what we create.. You need to manifest positive thoughts.. YOU make your life. It'll get better. You are young.
